IT’S the drama about a fat teen that’s become a supersized problem – with nearly 200,000 people signing a petition to have Netflix series Insatiable banned. Snowflakes have slammed the show as “fat-phobic” — before it has even been released. The outrage started when the streaming TV service released a two-minute trailer last week for the dark comedy, which is out next month.

Over their years together, the couple amassed considerable assets in the hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s largely due to Lauer’s earnings as the “Today” show. After NBC fired the 60-year-old Lauer in late November for inappropriate sexual conduct with several female staffers, Time magazine estimated his earnings over his career at the network to be more than $100 million and as high as $200 million.
